Ive had my A5 for a few years now and always wanted to do some upgrades. Here it is, what do you think

Madman spring kit
JCS spira grip
Egrip
Tippmann sniper stock
lapco big shot
Lapco Air Cooled barrel shroud
Ops gear MP5 mag
Tippmann Double trigger

I bought the stock, barrel shroud and mag from a guy I know who was sell it. Originally, I was only gonna buy his stock for 30 but for some reason he gave me the shroud and mag for 10 more.




No mercy for the bad if they want it

Not big on it.

Take the front grip off and the double trigger also.

Meh, you need to pick a look and stick with it. You can't mix performance looks with milsim. Also you cannot mix different gun styles in milsim.

Not bad, but the double trigger really takes away from the milsim look.

eh... take the MG shroud off... put the stock grip back on it... a good 9" barrel (like the stock one) with 1" pvc around it would look like a nice little Silenced MP5K ...

the double trigger is really only necessary if you plan on walking it in semi.

I like it, but ditch the fore grip and its Good. And the barrel shroud is a take it or leave it kind of thing.

Come Get Some !

It looks alright. Not something I would be willing to carry but I'll be one of the few that says it's not bad in aesthetic value.

He never said anything about it being milsim.

Still, there's nothing wrong with imitating the style and feel of real world guns, without replicating specific guns. Some of the best looking paintball guns I've seen (that are considered milsim) look nothing like any real world gun (see nauz's modern version of the Sten).

Not liking the combination personally.  I like the stock and the grip, but I am not feeling the double trigger, the shroud, or the mag with that shroud.  Single trigger always looks better IMO.  Honestly if it works for you though... then who cares what anyone else says.
Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...
